... to the torn bodies in the bloody butcher's-shop mounds in remote bush villages. In the British war against Nigerian nationalists, successfully passed off as a tribal civil war, the British Labour Government supplied more small arms to its Moslem Northern stooges than the British Army fired in the whole of World War Two. Search the memoirs of Lord Wilson, Lord Healey (directly responsible) and Lord Callaghan (deeply involved in planning the covert operations in Nigeria) and you will find black holocaust denial. Nor, sadly, will you find any of this great African evil in Dorril's fine work. Steve was presumably too busy taking delivery of tons of ancient Balkan bullshit from his Whitehall ...

... so-called Competition and Credit Control changes of 1972 were when allied to Heath's determination to retain 'cheap money'; and, unusually honest for a politician, he notes: 'So bad was the economic situation inherited by Labour in 1974............it would have been a miracle if the Wilson and Callaghan administrations that followed had been able to correct it in a short five years. ' (p . 146) He gives a fairly detailed account of the Falklands War, in which he played a significant part. I don't know the Falklands material well enough to know if there is much of significance here: I rather suspect ...

... back to Clause 4. Most members who joined the Labour Party never saw Clause 4 as anything other than an historical relic of an early twentieth century stitch-up. Those that didn't were in a minority, and they probably couldn't stomach any Labour leader for very long anyway. Blair has probably grasped that nettle somewhat better than did Harold Wilson, whose efforts to keep everybody on board probably damaged his health. Do far cats call the tune?Only the misty-eyed romantics would believe for one moment that millionaires etc. don't flutter around the governing party like moths around a light bulb; or that such fair weather friends don't get invited in. But do these fat ...

... related Asian People's Anti-Communist League (APACL, later the World Anti-Communist League or WACL), continues to subsidise the right-wing Washington Times. 12 Two deeper factors reinforce the continuity sketched in the preceding paragraph. One is the continuing involvement of regular or "rogue" CIA officers , such as Ray Cline or Edwin Wilson, at every stage. 13 Another, not unrelated, is the recurring allegations that the China Lobby, the Unification Church and the APACL have all derived their considerable budgets from the drug traffic. 14 At the origins of this insidious influence one finds the undoubted drug involvement of the CIA's airline CAT (later Air America). 15 ...

... : 'The propaganda war continued [when?] with a new committee chaired by Michael Cudlipp and staffed by representatives of the North Ireland Office, the RUC and the army; including Jeremy Rail-ton, then head of Information Policy'. In fact Cudlipp was appointed as Chief Information Officer in Northern Ireland in 1975 by Prime Minister Harold Wilson to try and get political control over the propaganda apparatus, which was then being directed as much at Northern Ireland Secretary of State Merlyn Rees as it was against the IRA. Bennett makes it sound as though Cudlipp was in charge of black propaganda. Bennett then tells us: 'The British establishment obviously decided, according to conspiracy theorists and ...

... by an exchange rate which has been too high since Brown became Chancellor? Bower doesn't seem to know much about British economic history something he shares with his subject and the economic sections of the book are inadequate. After 200 interviews Bower cannot decide if Brown is a labourist disguised as a neo-liberal or a politician who, like Harold Wilson in the famous Private Eye cartoon, faces both ways at once: to his party and the unions he comes on as a lefty, the inheritor of the Labour Party tradition; to the world dominated by American power and economic thinking, he is a follower of the Washington consensus. In my view he is both those things and ...

... 1962 that his Daily Express had in its possession compromising photographs of the Labour leader and Mrs Fleming. Beaverbrook made it clear that unless Gaitskell came out against the Common Market, the Express would publish them on the eve of the next election. Gaitskell made his conference speech and died shortly afterwards. Beaverbrook died in 1964, the year Harold Wilson became prime minister. Twigged There was scarcely a hiccup in the largely tax-funded career of Stephen Twigg after the junior education minister lost his Enfield Southgate seat at the general election. The famous victor over Michael Portillo in 1997 was within no time installed as director of the Foreign Policy Centre (FPC), which includes on its ...
